Description

Wines, Vines, Women: A Viticultural Odyssey? by Florence Tilkens Zotiades is a captivating investigation that sheds light on the complex and often overlooked relationship between women and the world of wine. The author begins by exploring various hypotheses regarding the historical role of women in the discovery of vines and wine, before addressing the origins of their discrimination and how they have been gradually invisibilized, despite their essential contribution to vineyards since Antiquity.

This invisibilization was not merely a matter of chance but was consolidated through religious, legal, and cultural means. The book thus traces this marginalization through the ages, while highlighting the constant work of women in wine production, often overshadowed by prominent male figures.

Throughout the pages, the author paints portraits of pioneers, these women who have made a mark in the world of wine with their boldness and expertise, despite the challenges of their time. These portraits are accompanied by contemporary testimonies from women professionals in the viticultural sector, who discuss the challenges they continue to face in the 21st century. The question of women's place in the wine industry remains pressing, but the move towards greater feminization is now inevitable.

The book is far more than just a historical chronicle; it is a plea for increased recognition of women in the wine industry. By recounting their contributions and exposing the discrimination they endure, Florence Tilkens Zotiades invites us to reflect on the future of a more inclusive and egalitarian viticultural world.
